Day by Day Itinerary
Day 2
Explore
Enjoy a delicious chef-prepared breakfast this morning before heading out on a private snowmobile adventure into the woods. You will learn all about reindeer herding at Octola’s own private reindeer area and enjoy a delicious forest lunch. If you are travelling with children this is the time the kids will also be able to try out the mini snowmobiles! Return to the lodge and dine overlooking the beautiful landscape and hopefully the Northern Lights too.
Day 3
Husky Sledding
After breakfast today you will join your guide and head into the surrounding forests by husky sled. Enjoy the magical experience of flying over the snow and through the pre-prepared trails by dog sled; hear the dogs bark excitedly as they pull you along and enjoy the feeling of the crisp Arctic air on your face. Return to Octola for lunch with your chef before enjoying a trip to an exclusive handcraft shop where you will meet a local family and make your very own souvenirs. Evening at leisure to relax in the sauna and wellness area.
Day 4
A final breakfast prepared by your chef before taking your VIP transfer back to the airport.
This doesn’t have to be the end; speak to one of our Nordic Experience Curators on how to extend your stay or combine a stay here with somewhere else too.

From Our Customers
The best travel experience ever on every level you can think of during a Lapland expedition (food, activities, timings, accommodation, transport, service, equipment…). I highly recommend Off The Map Travel for their outstanding level of professionalism and detail oriented mindset!
Sophie & Guy
I would thoroughly recommend this company. Their planning and advice was spot on. Alex responded to my calls and emails very promptly. I will definitely use them again for future trips.
Rosie
We originally hired Off the Map Travel in 2020 to set up a trip to see the Northern Lights. That didn’t happen, thanks to COVID. But, we persisted and in March of 2023, we took a 16-day trip that included both Iceland and Norway. IT WAS MAGICAL! Off the Map took care of everything! We were pampered at every stage of our trip. The people they hired and the activities they planned added up to a trip that will set the standard for any we’ll ever take in the future. Alex and his team were fabulous! We recommend them without restraint!
Jim & Kris
Amy was a great help with planning this trip. Our trip turned out amazing. I also was very grateful for Off the Map’s Front Desk service, which promptly handled an on the spot issue we had.
Karen
I used OTMT to organise a holiday to see the Northern Lights for my partner’s 50th birthday. They took the time to understand my priorities, the kinds of places we like to stay and the things we like to do. They recommended a fabulous itinerary in Norway centred around the Lyngen Experience Lodge. The holiday itself lived up to expectations and I have no hesitation in recommending OTMT. They listened carefully during the planning and delivered the perfect present for my partner.
Alex
Off the Map Travel was great! Alex helped us plan the most amazing 10 day honeymoon to Iceland. He gave us great recommendations and was so patient with us during the planning process!
